My extra EE rooster has found a future home. My sister thinks I have Ameraucanas and not EEs. The rooster goes to her house. She has an Ameraucana hen but no rooster. She is going to set up a house just for her Ameraucanas before the rooster goes home.

Cajun= I don't know what your fruit is. It looks like a green pumpkin squash right now. Interesting. I like surprises.

Our bull has not gotten out of the fence in a week. That's a record. If he would stay in the fence, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to butcher. I ran out of fly spray. The flies are heavy on the bull but not on the dog.

I took a picture of a melon the other day when I took pics of the chickens but i was in a hurry and forgot to post it.
I am trying the Banana Melon. Got the seeds from Baker Creek. That is a huge melon. I don't remember how big they are suppose to get. I grew it in one of the raised cinder block holes==3 holes deep plus the roots wonder into the main raised bed area too......but anyway. The other day it was about 16 inches long. Today it is much bigger but no current pic.
